LITTLE LIGHTS
Friday, December 19
5:00-6:00 PM
Families with children 0-4 are invited to throw on your favorite Hanukkah pajamas & get ready to get messy with a variety of sensory-inspired art projects with Melissa Gluskin from Find Your Niche Arts. After we make beautiful projects to take home, we'll enjoy Hanukkah songs, latkes, and sufganiyot together!
